Production on ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 7 to be Delayed?

Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have revealed that production on the hit fantasy drama will start later than expected. The duo, who made the remarks during a recent podcast, explained that the show’s production is waiting for gloomy weather to return in a bid to capture the “Winter is here” moment revealed in the season six finale. Game of Thrones, which typically arrives in March or April, was renewed for a seventh season with an episode count still yet to be determined. The show ranks as HBO’s most-watched series ever and is the premium cabler’s longest-running show currently on the air. It is still expected to return at some point in 2017.
